We know how challenging it is just now for parents juggling home schooling, work and just day to day family life. In this current climate it is so important that you can take time to look after your own physical and mental health.

Glasgow Psychological Service have put together a webinar for GCPG to look at ways to nurture your own wellbeing as parents and carers, with practical strategies to take away.
In addition there will be some top tips to help with home schooling.
We do hope you can join us. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/139078281885

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The role involves mainly email/whatsapp communication with monthly meetings via Zoom. As a member, you are required to help promote/get involved in events, surveys and messaging from GCPG.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer group member with us, you will be required to discuss with your parent council as you will need their support and nomination.
We would welcome more representation from secondary school parent council members, however recruitment is open to primary school members also.
To find out the full process or if you have any questions, please email us on GCParentsGroup@gmail.com

St Julie Billiart – Tweet of the Week (19/10/20)

“Enough!” says Jesus (Lk 22:38), when his disciples produce two swords before the Passion. “Enough!” That single word of Jesus echoes through the centuries and reaches us forcefully in our own time: enough of swords, weapons, violence and war!

Pope Francis – Tweet of the week

By his actions, the Good Samaritan showed that the existence of each and every individual is deeply tied to that of others: life is not simply time that passes; life is a time for interactions. #FratelliTutti
